I would feel a lot better about it if we treated cattle with existential respect while they gather for our consumption.
But capitalism does not do that to humans so hoping for mad cow respect in the US is about largely remembering about the fatal neurodegenerative disease of cattle.
Just go buy your meat directly from a farmer that only raises a few each year and that lets the cows roam free, it's not impossible to buy meat that's much more ethical, you just have to accept the price that comes with it.
It tastes good and I don't eat it everyday and I try to eat quality meat as much as possible, give me a break.
The device you typed this on surely do not contain any precious metal obtained through human abuse.
One form of harm does not excuse the other. We all have to make some effort on multiple fronts if we want the future to be brighter. Besides, it's easier to survive as a vegetarian than without technology in modern society.
Well hopefully the democratic process can help us find a decent standard. No violence or authoritarianism required.
Man, I eat meat too but you're so wrong here...
Cooking with meat is horrible, and I know because I am surrounded by them.
Thing is I could make efforts on all fronts except for eating meat every now and then and you guys would still be mad even if I made more effort then you everywhere else.
irrelevant
Meat eating is tightly connected to manliness. Also ideas of freedom. People think doing away with meat would mean more austerity and an attack on their individuality. You could sit someone down, join the dots for them linking meat to environmental catastrophe that affects them and they will still laugh it off with a vapid joke like in the meme.
Man, my girlfriend wants to eat meat more often than I do, what does that mean? 🤔
*in your culture
Yeah but what about my cat? What about animals in the wild? How can we stop them from eating meat?
But what about you?
How is it relevant to the question I'm asking?
How are your cat and animals in the wild relevant to your choices for yourself?
I agree with you that it's a personal choice. I was replying to someone who seemed to imply that it wasn't, and was suggesting that someone who eats meat can just stop doing it. I think that, for some people or some cultures, transitioning to a vegan diet isn't that easy.
It was an honest question, and you didn't answer it.
Taste
it's ethical because they name them before slitting their throats 🥰
No, but it is better since the animals get some quality life before we slit their throats.
I hope you eat them afterward. That would be so wasteful if you didn't.
"have a little priest."
That's not what I said, but whatever 🤷
you can just stop eating meat lol
And what does this existential respect look like?
Having a bit more joy in life and living a day longer in a cage which is one squaremeter larger until they get slaughtered?
Still no freedom and an unnaturally early end of life.
